I've seen them in chairs or the flower girls carry them in lieu of baskets. It's so pretty!

kissing balls?

Here is the history:

As it turns out the Pomander is also known as the kissing ball and originated in England during the Middle Ages. It was made of evergreens and hung over door ways serving as an omen for good will. After a while lavender and rosemary were added to the evergreens and the meaning started to entirely change. The Lavender and rosemary signified loyalty and devotion and eventually the kissing ball began to symbolize romance. With romance being the main idea behind pomanders it is no surprise that they are now used in weddings as a modern flower arrangement in place of a traditional bouquet!
